He's an easy target to blame really. None of us know who wanted him in or whether the last guys leaving affected us results wise, rather than injuries, ratboy, a premature end to our transfers dealings, and a crap pre-season. I'd be a bit worried about who was running the show if he's still here by the next game though.

To be fair, looking hopeless at both defending and attacking set-pieces and Leon Bailey on long-throws does not suggest a job well done.

He should be stuffed and placed next to other dinosaurs at the National History Museum.  Tacticsoutdatedasauras

This might be and almost certainly is based on nothing tangible at all, but he looked to have ideas above his station from the word go. Running all over the technical area and gesturing to the players all game, like he was the manager.

This was definitely the vibe.

I NEVER EVER again want to see a Villa team resort to long throws.

Nanny McPulis has hopefully gone.

I don't think they're a problem now and again. We did tend to overdo it though because it worked that once.

[Risso]

There's nothing wrong with having a long throw as a possible tactic, it's just that when it's used every single time, it becomes very predictable and therefore easy to defend against.

[N'ZMAV]

they just don't work very often

[Monty]

Also if your style is built around trying to win them. For one thing, it'll diminish your ability to see quick throws and build dangerous situations in the final third, if you're myopically focused on lobbing it in.

I didn't ever see us using it as a decoy to get the opposition in retreat to allow one of ours room for a shot from distance. That would've been worth trying once, surely.

I have submitted my CV and started listening to Emmerson, Lake and Palmer. I await the club's response.

Someone in Four Oaks is selling a job lot of towels if anyone is interested.

Yeah, very odd behavior that.
